COMBINED SHADE-ROLLER AND CURTAIN-POLE BRACKET.

SPEGIFIGATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 686,303, dated November 12, 1901.

Application filed June 11,1901. SerialNo. 64,087. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, J OSEPH J OUBERT, J r., a citizen of the United States, residing at Kankakee, in the county of Kankakee and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in a Combined Shade-Roller and Curtain-Pole Bracket; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the numerals of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

My invention relates to improvements in combined shade-roller and curtain-pole brackets. Its object is to provide an adjustable shade-roller bracket of simple and cheap construction and to combine therewith a curtainpole bracket adapted to be secured to the casing in connection with the shade-roller bracket.

An embodiment of my invention is hereinafter described and is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view thereof. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the shade-roller bracket detached. Fig. 3 is a perspective View of the part constituting the curtain-pole bracket as detached.

In the drawings I have shown only one of the brackets. It will be understood that the usual number are designed to be used, one at each side of the casing.

Referring to the drawings, the window-casing is indicated at 6. The bracket consists of a plate 7, which lies flat against the casing and is slidably supported thereon by two screws 8, each of which passes through a longitudinal slot 9 in the plate. The heads of the screws are wider than the slots and retain the plate in position. At either end of the plate, preferably at the outer end, a forwardly-projectin g flange 10 is formed, extending at a right angle to the plate and having the usual hole 11 to receive the end of the shade-roller. From the upper edge of the plate the upper edge of the flange extends horizontally a short distance and then vertically, forming an an gle 10, in which the pole bracket 12 is adapted to rest, supported by the horizontal part of the flange and retained thereon by the vertical part of the flange.

The pole-bracket consists of a rod bent in a horizontal plane to substantially a right angle. At the end of one branch of the-rod is formed a loop 13 in a Vertical plane, and through this loop passes one of the screws 8, whereby the pole-bracket is secured to the casing. From the loop the rod extends along the upper edge of the plate 7 and beyond the flange 10, where it is supported, as above indicated, in the angle 10 The rod then extends outwardly at substantially a right angle and is bent at its outer end, as at 10, to receive and support a curtain pole or rod.

It will be seen thatthe shade-roller bracket is adjustable the length of the slots therein, thereby permitting a shade-roller to be easily and quickly attached withoutprevious exact measurement of the roller. The bracket is simple and cheap in construction, no castings are required, and it may be readily stamped outof brass or other cheap metal. The curtain-pole bracket is attached without extra parts, as the screw through the loop and the support formed by the flange effectively retain it in position.

Having thus described the invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. A combined shade-roller and curtainpole bracket, comprising a slotted plate slidably mounted upon two screws passing through the slots, an outwardly-extending flange on the plate having means to engage a shade-roller, and a rod formed at one end into a loop or eye to receive one of the screws and at the other end to support a curtainpole, said rod resting between its ends upon the said flange.

2. A combined shade-roller and curtain pole bracket comprising a plate slidably mounted upon the window-casing, an angular rod adapted to be secured at one end to the casing and at the other end to hold a curtain-pole, anda flange extending from the plate at a right angle, having means to en gage a shade-roller and constituting a support for the rod between the ends thereof.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
